Why Work With An SVA Personal Trainer?
A personal trainer is many things: a coach, a drill sergeant, a workout partner. All of these roles are intended to inspire motivation and accountability. From beginners to seasoned veterans, every training regimen is designed for your benefit. Be it strength training or building muscle, a personal trainer can help to design the workout program that gets results.
1. Learning how to work out
Strength training sessions are a common request, and SVA delivers with power lifting and other techniques. During your initial consultation, your trainer can teach you how the muscles operate and which exercise options are best for targeting certain muscle groups. They can point out what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong, as having the correct form is just is as critical as the activity itself.
Lifting weights is an important component of strength training. Silicon Valley Athletics trainers are well-versed in knowing how often to lift, as well as the ideal weight sizes and repetitions for you. From building leg and back muscles to buffing up your arms and shoulders, you can enjoy day-to-day life with a renewed sense of vigor.
2. Increase strength and muscle
Powerlifting is ideal for improving your athletic ability. This form of exercise can help you jump higher and run faster. The squat is especially beneficial, as you improve the strength in your leg muscles through squats you’re also building upon your vertical leap and giving yourself more speed. The legs aren’t the only area to gain some athletic advantage through powerlifting – the back muscles also get stronger, giving you more of a competitive advantage in sports such as boxing, wrestling, and mixed martial arts, just to name a few.
3. Build cardio and endurance
Our full-body workouts go beyond strength training, as they can also help you improve cardiovascular fitness. Our personal trainers design programs that gradually increase stamina at any experience level, keeping your heart rate elevated and your body challenged. From high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to steady-state cardio sessions, our guidance allows you to learn how to pace yourself, avoid overtraining, and make consistent gains.
4. Boost your overall health
Want to learn more about losing weight or nutrition counseling? We offer free monthly nutrition seminars and DXA scans to our clients for success in not only fitness, but also maintaining a healthy lifestyle long-term.
5. Athletic Event Training
Training for a marathon or an upcoming sporting event is a serious time and energy commitment, and a personal trainer can be an invaluable asset. Our team of personal trainers are skilled professionals that shape your exercise routine based on your needs, including your schedule, fitness level, and needed recovery time.
The Primary Duties of a Good Personal Trainer
- Motivate at all times: Personal trainers help you stay focused and committed in a distracting world, where falling behind can happen to even the most ardent gym devotees. Staying motivated is a lot easier when someone else is at your side to help you stay on task.
- Provide guidance during workouts: Guidance is key for both safety and success when you are working towards a specific goal. We’re not always at our best when we walk into a gym, and a personal trainer can act as a partner to guide you along, and even perform the activities by your side. Having a workout partner next to you can make your session more effective and keep you from injuring yourself.
- Act as a spotter for safety: A personal trainer can also act as a spotter when you are using weights as part of your routine. Staying safe when you are lifting means having someone watching out for you, in case the weights become too heavy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What separates your personal training gym from others?
We take pride in how hard we work and genuinely care about our clients, striving to provide a community feel even though it’s a personal training gym. We put our hearts into everything we do and go above and beyond to make sure each client has all the tools needed to succeed inside and outside the gym.
- Personalized instruction: we tailor every workout program to each individual’s needs and interests.
- Individualized meal planning: we provide each client with a full nutritional plan based on his/her dietary preferences and restrictions.
- Individualized programming: we provide clients with specific workouts to perform on their own throughout the week to help keep them on track even when they’re not with their trainer.
Are personal training sessions beginner-friendly?
Yes, our instructors work with clients of all fitness levels. They will help guide you no matter where you are in your fitness journey.
How many days per week will I work out?
Depending on your health and fitness goals, you’ll need to commit to a minimum of 3 days of exercise each week to see results. Any fewer, and it will feel like you’re starting over every time.
How often should I see a personal trainer?
The ideal frequency of personal training sessions varies from person to person. If you are just getting started with exercise, need regular motivation, or are working through an injury, you’ll probably need to see a trainer 1–3 times per week.
Many of our veteran clients will reduce the frequency of personal training sessions to bi-weekly or even monthly once they’ve demonstrated the ability to consistently get to the gym and progress their exercises as recommended.
Our goal is to teach you, motivate you, and help you to be self-reliant in the gym. Although we miss seeing their smiling faces, we are always pleased when clients reduce their need to see us because they’ve become self-directed exercisers.
Do you offer online personal training?
While we always recommend you come into the gym for personal training, we also offer online coaching to intermediate and advanced lifters. We require a client to train for a minimum of 10 sessions before being able to train 100% remotely. This allows us to find the appropriate weights and movements that are best for each individual client.
Do you offer discounts?
We offer a 5% discount to:
- Students
- Military servicemen and women
- Nurses
- Teachers
- Police
- Firefighters
